The problem with combining travel and work is that the travel part suffers, and the work part suffers.
When traveling, i like to spend my energy on the travel, not stressing about work.
- netsharc 4y agoI think the dream is that, when 5PM hits, you'll be somewhere (hopefully) exotic and exciting straight away. And I guess one just needs a few days if moving places, to get settled.
- ChuckNorris89 4y agoI guess it depends how stressful or demanding your job is and how much involvement your employer expects from you. There are plenty of people with very lax jobs where they're basically on vacation anyway, except getting paid for it, especially at big bloated companies, might as well go "work" in some interesting places. One of my friends has the dream job. He gets paid to ask his offshore team in Vietnam every day "how's the work going and when is X gonna be ready?" so that he can forward these answers to his own bosses in Germany lol. Perfect job for traveling while working.

- dijonman2 4y agoIt’s hard when you don’t have enough PTO. I’ll go across the world for 2 weeks and spend 3-4 days “working”. Everyone knows what’s up, it’s barely classified as work. But it allows me to adjust my body clock and due to the time difference I fuck around for the entire day anyway.
- hombre_fatal 4y agoTravel ranges from visiting a new thing every day to living somewhere longer term. The latter works no different than a job in your home country except that you are presumably in a more interesting place (to you) when you’re not on the clock. For me, that’s a cheap beach in Mexico.
